Did Anyone Predict the Industrial Revolution?

Yes! And I'm giving you a challenge.

Lost Futures
TLDR, people in the 1670s roughly understood how an internal combustion engine could work but never built one. They were able to extrapolate that to modern-ish cars, boats and manufacturing but not the social impact.

None of these thinkers predicted industrialization as a systemic economic transformation such as rising wages, urbanization, demographic shifts, the factory system.

They all saw the machines but not the world those machines would create. That leap seems to have been unpredictable from within an agrarian mental framework.
